Yes.

Projects that are already using a version still need to be able to
find the releases; this is common for projects that specify exact
versions for deployment purposes.

The simple index is the right place for this; tools like setuptools
and zc.buildout use the simple index for automated operations by
default.

The web UI doesn't show hidden releases, which is fine for interactive users.
